After finding the Lingdi cave, Xu Dao spent some time and successfully transformed the cave into his own cave.
He dug out a hill-like rock in the rock wall, making the highest point in the cave five or six feet high. The entire space was cone-shaped, supported by stone pillars, and surrounded by rock-paved water channels underneath, with endless water flowing.
Because of the blessing of the Three Talents Formation, the outside sunlight and moonlight will form a projection hanging on the top of the cave, shaped like a small sun and moon, making the light inside the mansion the same as the outside world.
When Xu Dao practices daily, he either sits in the cave and breathes in the moonlight gathered by the formation, or the Yin God leaves the cave and directly bathes in the moonlight from the outside world.
Time passes day by day.
He also sat in the cave, meditating day by day.
Continuing to stay in the cave, Xu Dao did not feel that life was boring. At most, he would recall the beautiful and good things of a certain day. However, he did not go out to find You Bing because of this, but continued to immerse himself in the cave to practice hard.
…
Soon, half a year flew by.
For Xu Dao, who was practicing hard, the past six months seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. He didn't even have time to react. When he came to his senses, he found that half a year had passed.
During these six months, he simply did two things. The first was to continuously breathe in moonlight every day to hone his true Qi.
The second is to practice Qi refining level spells.
Compared with when he first entered Qi Refining, the amount of True Qi in his body has increased three to four times, but it is still in the early stage of Qi Refining, and is quite far away from breaking through to the middle stage of Qi Refining.
If you want to break through from the early night travel realm to the mid-term day travel realm, Xu Dao needs to let his Yin Shen be able to withstand the scorching sun, bathe his whole body with sunlight, and turn poison into spirit.
When ordinary Taoists think of reaching this point, they first need to spend a lot of time and effort to accumulate Qi bit by bit. It takes at least ten years of Qi refining before they can use their physical body to swallow the essence of the sun.
After reaching this level, the Taoist disciples in the White Bone Temple can go to the dormitory to exchange for spells dedicated to absorbing the sun essence. Once the spells are cultivated to the level of Dacheng, and the talismans are transformed into the Yinshen, they can achieve day travel and move freely.
Walking under the sun.
Xu Dao is still far away from this level, and is far from being able to use the magic of absorbing sun essence.
But after he exited the state of cultivation, he sat on a bluestone in the pool in the center of the cave and silently thought in his heart:
"The visualization method of absorbing the Sun Essence is different from the magic of self-defense and defense. It is a fundamental breathing method that can increase and break through the cultivation level. The commonly used spell in the visualization is "The Great Sun Collecting Refining Form Method", which costs 500 Taoist skills and only has
There is one in the dormitory, but similar magic tricks are not allowed to be sold in the ghost market."
Five hundred Daogong, just relying on Xu Dao's monthly salary, requires four years of accumulation without eating or drinking.
He thought for a moment: "Although the Taoist temple does not strictly control the Taoist disciples in the temple, it still restrains them through various means. If you want to improve your cultivation, you must naturally contribute to the Taoist temple."
Xu Dao sighed secretly: "You still need to take the initiative to accept one or two tasks in the temple, and find a way to make money so that you can accumulate Taoist power and talisman money."
In the past six months, although Xu Dao had been out of his body and had small gatherings with other Taoist disciples, he basically paid no attention to worldly affairs and focused on practicing.
Because the chores inside the temple would delay time and the missions outside were dangerous, he was unable to complete even one mission.
Now that half a year has passed, he must go to the dormitory to accept a task to contribute to the Taoist temple.
If he is delayed for too long, the Taoist temple will directly cut his salary, or even think that he has a tendency to apostatize and take him into the temple for questioning.
Xu Dao didn't want his salary to be reduced or to be wanted by the Taoist temple, so he had to end his seclusion and thought about leaving seclusion to complete the mission of the Taoist temple.
"The chores took too long, so I decided to take on an out-of-town assignment and finish it in three to five days."
After thinking clearly, Xu Dao was convinced, and he immediately escaped from the Yin Shen, swung his body, and flew out of the cave.
After leaving the cave, Xu Dao did not fly directly to the White Bone Temple in the form of a Yin Shen. Instead, he flew a few miles away from the cave and patrolled around for a while. He found a group of red-eyed crows squatting on the branches to rest.
Quack, quack, crow! Some crows even raised their eyes and stared at Xu Dao eerily.
"Imperative!" Xu Dao didn't pay attention to them, he drank lightly, chose the biggest one among them, and suddenly got into the crow's body.
Plop! The crow swayed, with a human look in its eyes. It immediately flapped its wings and left the crowd of crows, flying straight to the mountain gate of the White Bone Temple.
During the half-year-long retreat, Xu Dao had successfully practiced three spells with the help of Wuziju.
The first one is a method of clearing the mind and calming the energy. It is called "Visualization of Ice Heart Jade Pot to Purify the Heart". It is a Taoist's method to purify the mind. It can visualize oneself as an ice-cold jade pot, eliminate distracting thoughts and stop delusional thoughts.
Develop an "ice heart".
After the spell is mastered, every time a Taoist visualizes himself as a jade pot, he can immediately calm his mind and suppress distracting thoughts in his mind.
Xu Dao used the uncharacterized urn, spent a lot of money and food, and directly practiced this technique to the level of Dacheng.
The visual patterns of the spell condensed into talisman seeds, which were planted in his heart orifices, which could turn his delusional mind into a heart of ice at any time, so that he would not be easily troubled by hallucinations and distracting thoughts.
It was precisely because of the blessing of this spell that he was able to practice hard in the cave for half a year without feeling lonely or depressed at all.
And with the help of Dacheng's "Bingxin Jade Pot Visualization Purifying Heart Diagram", Xu Dao practiced the first level of the "Three Corpses Sacrifice Technique" [Biquge www.sbiquge.info], and he has already completed most of it and is able to lean over.
Acts inside the snake's body.
However, because he still lacks the experience and materials to cultivate voodoo, he has not yet cultivated the "yin voodoo", so he cannot be considered successful.
The above two spells could not directly improve Xu Dao's strength, so he also purchased another Qi-level spell in the dormitory.
This technique is called "The python swallows the snake and entangles the energy" and it is a qigong technique.
After a small amount of cultivation, once a Taoist uses magic, his true energy will come out of his body, transforming into a snake and python energy that surrounds his body. If something attacks him, the python energy can bite the intruder and protect the Taoist.
At the same time, the Taoist can also take the initiative to draw the python energy from his sleeves to kill the enemy.
When the cultivation reaches the state of Dacheng and the talisman seeds are planted, when the Taoist walks, sits or lies, there will always be two pythons entangled around the body, covering the upper and lower parts, protecting the Taoist at all times.
Xu Dao now dares to leave seclusion and is planning to take on missions because he has mastered this body-protecting qigong to great perfection within half a year.
Every time he takes in and out of breath, two qi energies will squirm around his body, protecting him from top to bottom.
With just this hand Qigong technique, Xu Dao was able to compete with a Taoist disciple who had been practicing Qi for three to five years.
It can be seen that in half a year of seclusion, he has gained a lot!
Xu Dao had not been out of seclusion for a long time. He transformed into a crow and flew in the mist. For a moment, he felt free and free.
call out!
He flapped his crow wings, knocked off one or two black feathers, and flew directly into the dormitory courtyard...
